Hi,
the correct capitalisation of phpList is … well, phpList… but we get a lot of PHPList PHPlist phpLIST Phplist PhpList phplist … I think I got them all.
Any way to make discourse auto-correct?

AI-generated summary
The discussion is about implementing an auto-correct feature in Discourse to correct capitalization of specific words, such as “phpList”. gingerling initiated the conversation, and downey mentioned that this feature is not currently possible but could be a good idea. erlend_sh suggested that it could be achieved as a plugin, similar to the profanity filter. gingerling was advised to tweak the profanity filter to achieve this, but would need help as the project’s tech team is more familiar with PHP than Ruby.
However, Mittineague and downey corrected gingerling that Discourse plugins are not written in PHP, but rather Ruby or Ember. Mittineague further clarified that there are no Discourse plugins written in PHP. riking suggested that to accomplish this feature, a dialect written in JavaScript would be needed. gingerling acknowledged the misunderstanding and is willing to add the feature to the list, but would prefer it to be a built-in Discourse feature.

As far as I know this isn’t possible, but it’s a nice idea for a feature, especially for those of us with weirdly-capitalized project names.
Fringe feature, but should certainly be easily achievable as a plugin. Looking at how the profanity filter works would probably be a good start.
Yes, I was advised by a non discourse user (with experience of forums) that the profanity filter could maybe be tweaked to do this? Would have no idea where to start, though 
Is the profanity filter core (ruby) or plugin (php?) - we could mess with php but the coders here won’t play with ruby 
errm, PHP?
I like PHP just fine, but for all my looking through Discourse Core code I’ve yet to see any PHP
Perhaps you meant Ember?
no no, discourse is in ruby on rails (i think) but many discourse plugins are in PHP. My project (phpList) techies will hack PHP (ie plugins) but not ruby ie core.
I don’t think this is a correct statement.

There is wp-discourse
But that is a WordPress plugin not a Discourse plugin.
As I posted earlier, I have yet to see any Discourse plugins written in PHP
I can understand that PHP devs might not want to touch Ruby, but Ruby is the language of Discourse.
Well, that and Ember
If the devs don’t want to get into Ruby they might be able to get somewhere (albeit likely only to limited extent) working with Ember alone.
But AFAIK, preferred language or otherwise, there is no PHP in Discourse
Plus, to accomplish this, you would want a dialect, which would be written in JS.
Ah, ok, I miss understand - I am not a developer after all 
Oh I am sure they would do that though 
Well, I will add it to the list, but would be cool if it was a Discourse feature
